Update:
- My 11 y/o and 15 y/o absolutely hate virtual learning. They find it boring sitting in front the computer all day and also distracting because of idiotic students interrupting class, especially at the elementary level.
- Our district will be starting hybrid at the elementary schools on 10/5 and will go full time in-person in early November. The mass exodus of students from the district to either private school (in-person) or moving out of the district entirely is screwing with their budgets. The district had it's lowest enrollment in decades.
- The public school district that adjoins ours (same county) announced yesterday that middle school and HS will go hybrid on 10/5 and full time in-person in early November, matching their plan for elementary schools. All sports are on.
- The two districts noted above had originally set a gating criteria of 5% or less positive tests before going to in-person learning. The county is at 12%+. The thing is though, the ones testing positive are by in large in the sub 39 y/o group. COVID deaths in the county are 143, 95+% of which were people 70 and older, the majority in the 80+ range (most of which had other issues). Very few are being cared for in the hospitals. The death by age group percentages for our county pretty much match the national and global death category data. These factors might have something to do the district's change in moving to in-person learning.........and also money.
